It seems that the technological world is trying to take us away from playing video games alone in a dark room, and while doing so they're also stopping us from becoming fat with our high-calorie snack habits. The Nintendo Wii has already brought in plenty of physical exercise into our gaming addiction and that is merely the start of things to come.

California based company, GestureTek have introduced the WallFX to a child's play centre in Las Vegas. The WallFX projects an activity onto a wall and allows the children to interact with it using hand and body gestures.

The games are displayed via a ceiling projector onto a special effects wall. A camera captures the player's full-body movement, allowing them to interact with the images without the use of a control pad. There are 25 games available, which revolve around simple activities such as basketball. Don't expect to be playing Call of Duty any time soon (or should that be Wall of Duty? - Ed).

Motion sensor gaming is nothing new, but this is the first to be introduced into schooling. As with the Nintendo Wii, the idea is to get kids moving around and exercising while they're having fun. They can have WallFX in schools without worrying about having to replace broken Wii-motes every week.
